description The most well-known type of cardiovascular arrhythmia in the United States and worldwide is atrial fibrillation (AF). Generally, 2.3 million individuals are determined to have AF in the United States. Energy drinks contain caffeine, taurine, theophylline, and sugars that enhance alertness.
